Schlawiener Wirtshaus — Restaurant in Vienna

This spot, conveniently tucked near Naschmarkt, strikes the perfect balance between tradition and creativity. It’s a place that has Austrian classics but also some stuff with Asian fusion flair on the menu.

The service was efficient, friendly, and unobtrusive. It’s the kind of place where you feel cared for without being asked every five minutes if everything is alright. The atmosphere adds to the charm: trendy but warm, modern but welcoming.

Now, onto the food. The menu is intriguing, offering classic Austrian staples alongside unexpected, globally inspired dishes. The bio szechuan beef peanut Dim Sum were an absolute highlight. The filling was perfectly balanced, with a soft, spicy kick, and the wrapper had just the right texture—neither too thick nor too thin. My only complaint? I’d have loved more than three for €11.

The Schlawiener Brotteller was another winner. Bread from Joseph, wonderfully salted butter, and pickled vegetables that added a sharp, tangy contrast. The only thing missing was a little explanation of the second spread on the plate, especially since it wasn’t described on the menu. A quick introduction would have been helpful.

As for the Wiener Schnitzel vom Kalb, it might just be the best I’ve had. The breading was light and fluffy, the meat thin and tender. While I’m not a fan of capers, they were easy to set aside. The Wiener Erdäpfelsalat was good but not as memorable as the schnitzel itself, and it was slightly annoying to have to order it separately for €4.20 on top of the €26 for the Schnitzel.

The spinach dumplings were a pleasant surprise. They were packed with flavor, and the accompanying salad with pumpkin seed oil dressing was unexpectedly delightful.

On the drinks side, the white wine was a good choice, and the Schlawini Spritz, while dangerously close to tasting like juice, was a fun addition to the meal.

Verdict: this is now one of my go-to spots for Schnitzel and inventive Austrian cuisine. It’s the perfect place to bring visitors or treat yourself when you’re craving something familiar...

The food and service was truly great. The guy who fostered us did the job excellently and deserves all the credit that is necessary for his satisfaction. I highly recommend Schlawiener Wirtshaus. It is a great and beautiful place with the right atmosphere when you want to enjoy genuine Austrian food, beside some unnecessary menu elements like Chinese dumplings :), although they were really nice.

The only issue was the deconstructed menu option with the main where you rather expect the Veil Schnitzel to come in a traditional experience as it always was and that means you get one dish all together without a need to order an extra components like potato with salad and cranberry sauce. I mean to order a potato salad as extra along a Schnitzel is a joke by its own. The confusion over a collage isn’t necessary at all, even the creator of the food menu may think different. Why not sell a Schnitzel with all as it should be together for one price? At the end, it’s not about the money. So what’s the unnecessary deal. Just sell it for a price you want to get, but please as a one complete dish without an Indiana Jones assembly journey. No one needs it this way, seriously.

Enough of menu complain. In general, the menu has a strong and great setup with fewer dishes. Finally, no encyclopaedia of thousands of creations. This is really something to appreciate. The food is fabulous! It is very delicious, filling, refreshing and mostly it is Austrian, so who ever what’s to experience a good quality Austrian food just visit this spot. You...

I was captured by the brick interior from the photos on google. That made me want to try it. So we went there for dinner. First getting our drinks, everyone had it’s own drink and I ask for glass of tap water for my one and a half year old baby. In the Menu for drinks it’s not even written they charge for tap water, that’s why I am surprise to pay 2€ for that. It says in the bill a decanter of water. The waitress served it with one small glass. Me and my partner plus the baby, we ordered 6 drinks and wouldn’t it be a shame to charge another 2€ for the tap water? I can understand if we never ordered other drinks aside from water, then maybe charging us tap water is considerable. I will attach my receipt to prove that! For those coming with babies be aware they don’t have diaper changing table so you might consider it when looking for a restaurant. The food was ok but not that I would come back to have it again except for the Kaiserschmarren. All in all just a ripped-off experience. And for extra information for the tourists, tip in Austria is an optional not obligatory but hier the waiter made sure you...
